"It's really menacing!"

Zhang Zhun raised the clairvoyant mirror and carefully observed the enemy's movements.

On the line of sea and sky outside Mawan, ten warships slowly appeared. They are lined up in a row, and the momentum is quite spectacular. The scouting ship in front of them was like a child's toy compared to the pirate warships.

Shen Lingfei also held the clairvoyant mirror, frowned and said, "It seems to be Yang Tiansheng's ship." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded slowly.

Indeed, judging from the flag on the mast, it was indeed Yang Tiansheng's warship. It seems that Zheng Zhilong did not come forward in person this time, but entrusted Yang Tiansheng to deal with this matter. Of course, it is also possible that Yang Tiansheng took the initiative to ask to deal with this matter, after all, the subordinate called Black Iron Head last time left with regret. Now that he has the opportunity to take revenge on himself, Yang Tiansheng should not let it go. These pirate leaders are basically people who will be retribution!

"It's Sun Ronglu again."

"It's the black iron head from last time."

Shen Lingfei observed for a while, then frowned and said.

As the enemy ship got closer, she captured more information. She has been walking in Jiangnan all the year round and frequently engaged in maritime trade, so she is still very familiar with the flags of those pirates. Zheng Zhilong, Yang Tiansheng, and several generals under Yan Siqi, such as Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao, all have their own general flags, which are the same as the handsome flags on land. Anyone who is familiar with pirates can tell the difference.

"Sure enough, it's him."

Zhang Zhun frowned quietly.

He also discovered that on the No. 2 Fu boat at the head, under Yang Tiansheng's flag, there was a relatively unique pennant, and a big "Sun" could be vaguely seen on it. The last time the black iron head came to the sea near Fushan City, there was also a pennant like this hanging on the mast, and the word "Sun" was also hung on it. It seems that Sun Ronglu, nicknamed "Black Iron Head", has come back to seek revenge. I haven't seen him for a few months, but he still can't forget himself!

The Black Iron Head brought a total of two No. 2 Fu Ships, three No. 3 Fu Ships, and five Haicang Ships. All belong to the standard series of armed merchant ships. Through the clairvoyant mirror, Zhang Zhun could see that these ten warships were all fully armed. On the top of the No. 2 Fu ship, there are about eighteen guns. On the top of the No. 3 Fu ship, there are about 12 guns. Each Haicang ship has about six guns. In total, more than a hundred guns.

There are so many artillery, enough to bombard Zhang Zhun to the point that one Buddha ascends to heaven and two Buddhas are born. If there were no two monsters blocking the exit of Mawan, all the equipment and facilities in Zhang Zhun in Mawan would have been wiped out by the fierce artillery fire. A hundred pieces of artillery are definitely not something that a tiger can stop. Guns and cannons are two completely different concepts.

After continuing to observe carefully, Zhang Zhun was quietly glad that there was no three-masted gunboat in the black iron-headed fleet. This made Zhang Zhun breathe a sigh of relief. Because, the appearance of the three-masted gunboat means that the other side has a more powerful Hongyi cannon. If the enemy ship had a long-range Hongyi cannon, the two monsters that Zhang Zhun desperately created would still have to undergo a severe test. Because, the Hongyi cannon can be completely out of range, constantly bombarding the two monsters, and the two monsters can't hit each other.

Obviously, Yang Tiansheng was reluctant to send his few three-masted gunboats to the northern sea. After all, for him, a pirate leader, three-masted gunships are also very rare, and there will definitely be no more than ten. The three-masted gunship is a pure warship, the most powerful, and can only be assured if it is in its own hands. In fact, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, the number of Hongyi cannons is quite rare. There are twenty in Yanjing City, ten in Ningyuan City, and the Hongyi cannons in other places are all scattered, and there will definitely be no more than three.

Although Zheng Zhilong's pirate group can do business with the red-haired ghosts (Dutch), they can buy Hongyi cannons directly from them. However, the price of Hongyi cannons has always been extremely expensive. The price of each Hongyi cannon is thousands of taels of silver. Even the rich Zheng Zhilong Pirate Group could not buy too many Hongyi cannons. Naturally, the Hongyi cannon has become the most powerful armed force in their hands, and it will definitely not be handed over to outsiders for use.

Zhang Zhun held up the clairvoyant mirror, observed carefully, and also found a hidden information: these ships brought by Black Iron Head were all armed merchant ships, not pure warships. Obviously, there is a strong smell of using the public for personal gain: Yang Tiansheng wants to take the opportunity of cleaning up his Zhang Zhun to loot in Fushan City to enrich his strength. Perhaps it can be thought that it is secondary to find Zhang Zhun's bad luck for Nanjing City. From Zhang Zhun's hands, plundering a large amount of wealth is the main thing.

"Zhang Zhun, I'm back!"

"Wait for death!"

When Zhang Zhun was holding a clairvoyant mirror to observe the enemy ship, on top of the enemy ship, there were also people observing the movements around Mawan. On the No. 2 Fu boat on the left, Sun Ronglu was staring at the coastline of Fushan City with hatred on his face, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

This time, he led the fleet to the north and came to find Zhang Zhun unlucky, who was nicknamed Sun Ronglu, who was nicknamed Black Iron Head. Last time, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sun Ronglu tried to sneak attack Fushan City, but was caught off guard by Zhang Zhun and lost a lot of people. He originally thought that he could spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Fushan City, but in the end he had to withdraw in disgrace. After going back, he was beaten down by Yang Tiansheng, and he did lose a lot of face, so he had to be silent for a few months.

Fortunately, Yang Tiansheng still trusts him. This time, Zheng Zhilong asked Yang Tiansheng to take full responsibility for handling Zhang Zhun's affairs, and Yang Tiansheng was naturally the first to think of Sun Ronglu. Of course, Sun Ronglu hoped that he would have the opportunity to kill back and wash away the shame of the last time, so he actively asked for his life, hoping that Yang Tiansheng would hand over this task to himself. In the end, Yang Tiansheng allocated ten warships and one hundred artillery pieces to Sun Ronglu, and asked him to come back to Zhang Zhun to take revenge.

"I can't celebrate the festival in Fushan City during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but this year, I want to celebrate the New Year in Fushan City!"

As the saying goes, when enemies see each other, they are very red-eyed, Sun Ronglu has not seen Zhang Zhun yet, but when he heard Zhang Zhun's name, he was already red-eyed. Sun Ronglu hurriedly prepared for battle, and arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River with the fleet in a fierce manner. He originally thought that he could block Zhang Zhun at the mouth of the Yangtze River. As long as Zhang Zhun is blocked at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Zhang Zhun will definitely be difficult to fly. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun's speed was quite fast, and he had already crossed the Yangtze River estuary and went north.

Due to coordination reasons, Sun Ronglu was at the mouth of the Yangtze River and was delayed for two days before leading the fleet north. Because he was in a hurry to catch up with Zhang Zhun, Sun Ronglu kept urging his subordinates to hurry up and hurry up all the way. As a result, Zhang Zhun walked for five days, and Sun Ronglu was stunned for four days before arriving. For this speed, Sun Ronglu is very satisfied.

"Zhang Zhun, this time, I see what else you can do!"

"If you escape from the palm of my hand, I will not be surnamed Sun in the future, I will have your surname!"

"I can't celebrate the festival in Fushan City during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but this year, I want to celebrate the New Year in Fushan City!"

Sun Ronglu said viciously.

The coastline of Fushan City appeared in Sun Ronglu's clairvoyant mirror, which made Sun Ronglu feel his blood boiling all over his body. For the last failure, Sun Ronglu is angry. Now, here's the chance for revenge. He wants to do everything he didn't do last time, this time! Last time, he couldn't spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Fushan City, and this time, he wants to spend the New Year in Fushan City!

Last time, because he didn't know the existence of Mawan and was not familiar with the sea conditions around Fushan City, he took the method of landing directly, and he was accidentally calculated by Zhang Zhun. However, this time, he already has a comprehensive plan. His huge fleet, to enter Mawan, first use fierce artillery fire to destroy all of Zhang Zhun's docks, shipyards, naval bases and other equipment and facilities, so that Zhang Zhun's few sea forces are completely paralyzed, and then slowly consider the landing. The power he brought this time was more than ten times that of the last time. With such a thunderous force, he didn't believe that Zhang Zhun had the ability to block.

"Prepare to attack!"

"It's good to take Fushan City for the New Year!"

Sun Ronglu waved vigorously.

He couldn't wait.

He couldn't wait to catch Zhang Zhun immediately, and then eat him alive!

"General, it's going to be dark......"

A heart whispered.

When they arrived in Mawan, it was already evening, and there was still half an hour at most, and it was about to get dark. In fact, the current light is not very good. For naval warfare in this era, the night was the greatest enemy. Except for sudden encounters, no one would choose to start a war in the dark. In the dark, ships can easily collide together, causing unnecessary damage.

The intention of his men was to spend the night here, wait until tomorrow morning, and then attack with all their might. Anyway, Zhang Zhun is already meat on the chopping board and can't escape. At the same time, you can also take a proper rest. Due to Sun Ronglu's constant urging to speed up along the way, all the sailors were quite tired.

"Wouldn't it be better when it gets dark?"

"Enter Mawan! The woman who robbed Zhang Zhun! ”

"We're going to spend the night in Fushan City tonight!"

"Snatch the Xue family sisters, and the brothers take turns!"

"If Zhang Zhun learns the news and runs away with the money and the woman, we won't have any hair!"

Sun Ronglu said fiercely.

The hatred between him and Zhang Zhun was completely because of the Xue family sisters. Because the previous commission has not been completed, Yang Tiansheng has always had a thorn in his heart. This thorn is the Xue family sisters. If Xue Zhidie is caught, she will have to be ravaged to death. Thinking of that woman's spicy figure and the proud twin peaks, Sun Ronglu felt that his throat quickly began to thirst.

"Yes!"

His men agreed, and ordered the ships to prepare for an attack.

Soon, ten pirate warships were in battle formation. After all, they are a professional naval combat force, and all offensive actions appear to be orderly. All the warships opened the cannon windows, and the black holes of the guns protruded from them.

"Looks like they're in a hurry!"

"Attack on the go...... Think you're the Army? ”

Zhang Zhun held the clairvoyant mirror and said to himself.

He originally thought that seeing that it was about to get dark, Yang Tiansheng's fleet would rest for a night and then launch an attack tomorrow morning. Unexpectedly, they actually launched an attack non-stop. For the Black Ironhead Fleet of the Labor Division's expedition, in fact, this is not the best choice.

"Hey, Lord Dudu, you don't want to think about what it's like today."

"There are two days to go, and the Chinese New Year is coming, and these pirates want to carry your head for the New Year! Spending the New Year in Fushan City is much more comfortable than blowing the wind on the sea! ”

Shen Lingfei said angrily.

Because Zhang Zhun and the others were just watching the battle on the rocks near Mawan, it was a relatively safe area. Therefore, Shen Lingfei also came to join in the fun. Of course, this was allowed by Zhang Zhun, because Shen Lingfei was very familiar with the situation in Jiangnan and could explain many of his doubts from time to time. Originally, Xue Zhidie was a good commentator, but unfortunately he fell ill.

"Yes, there are still two days to go, and the New Year is coming."

"Pirates are also going to celebrate the New Year!"

Zhang Zhun nodded slowly and said to himself.

Today is December 28, and the day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve. For Chinese, Chinese New Year's Eve is the most important festival of the year. As long as it is possible, no one wants to spend the New Year outside. Sun Ronglu took these pirates and traveled thousands of miles from the south, and he did encounter a special festival. If they can't end the battle before Chinese New Year's Eve, they will have to spend the New Year at sea.

It's strange to say, the last time the black iron head arrived, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. This time it is the Chinese New Year. Why does this guy like to start a fight during the holidays so much? Could it be that the pirates are accustomed to fighting before the festival and then celebrating the New Year in the occupied places? Hehe, I'm afraid that their wish this time will be disappointed again!

Seriously, in this season when the north wind is howling and the weather is cold, the taste of celebrating the New Year at sea must be uncomfortable. This year's winter was very cold. Laizhou Bay in the north has been completely frozen. In order to keep out the cold, Shen Lingfei wrapped her whole body in a thick down coat. This is real down, made of waterfowl feathers, and it looks exceptionally beautiful. Relatively speaking, there are quite a lot of New Year's programs in Fushan City. But what can the pirates do on board? No wonder they can't wait to attack.

"Brothers!"

"Here's the work!"

"Work hard, take out the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy and go home for the New Year!"

On top of Ninghai, Zhou Zhengyu said loudly.

According to Zhang Zhun's arrangement, Yang Guohua sat on the top of Fuhai to command, and Zhou Zhengyu sat on top of Ninghai to command, and the two worked together to coordinate and command through the flag. As for Zhang Zhun, he watched the excitement from the side, and the overall coordination.
